[HD2 General] Demon_man:
ok so spl is stock it means the phone is locked so you cant flash custom roms (i think im right lol) hspl means its unlocked (but not sim unlocked) you need hspl to flash a custom rom, its easier now then when i first got my hd2, you can just use hspl 3 now and you just choose from the drop down menu one that ends in hspl,

Radios often don't come with most custom ROM's because the chefs have there roms tested with certain radios for performance wise, I would say every custom ROM will tell you what radio is best advised to use, for there rom, flashing a custom rom will remove everything from you're phone so be sure to save contacts with myphone or pim back up something like that, you should take a read through this thread mate its quite easy once you read it and then read it again just make sure it is quite hard to brick a hd2 or a htc phone unless you havent really read properly but there is plenty of people here if you need help, if you get stuck just ask before you flash better safe than sorry :D

many thanks for quick reply.

the link u posted sent me to t-mobile version, i thought my handset was normal version the keys at bottom of handset arent coloured green and red .

is it worth going from stock rom to a custom one?

i find the stock ok but does tend to slow up if i dont stay on top of task manager and shut down programs which are still running,even though i did exit out of them.

im reading through forums again trying to understand this flashing option.quite annoyed with myself as i tend to be normally ok at flashing things done it with my tomtom etc.

many thanks for time and patience
[HD2 General] beaniator:
hi..

i think im getting there (alot of reading to be sure)

is it actually worth using a custom rom ?

if i decide not to flash a custom rom :confused:

can i still apply the tips and tweaks to handset..for example im looking at the landscape.cab will this make all features move to landscape instead of just a few applications?

and any other tweaks i choose from xda vast list.

many thanks for time and patience
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
search for bsb tweaks. You can use any of them except for the decrease phone sensitivity and tap time.

Also, any tweaks should work on your phone.
[HD2 General] ozmoran:
I am currently running the stock Rom I have had a few different roms on my HD2 and there all different and good for a lot of different reasons I eventually went back to stock just for a change as I mainly use my phone for work and some Roms still have a few bugs.

I installed cookies home tab (CHT) which is awesome and BSB tweaks and I find thats got my phone working great.

Best thing is even if you try everything you can always go back to start so give it a shot everyone will be glad to help as long as you search for an answer to a problem first

Just think about what you want from your phone and look at what others have done there is a plethora of information here

Enjoy
[HD2 General] damnshah:
If you dont plan on flashing to a custom rom, somethings you should look at

co0kie's Home Tab and CHT Editor

Bsb Tweaks

cleanram

Chainfire's 3d driver

data controller

also read tboy2000's thread

for games and some apps, check this site out, i suggest you download the omarket app to make life easier

and also moving the album cache, look for tune4's cab as it saves tonnes of space!

those are the basic few to make sure everything runs nicely...
[HD2 General] beaniator:
many thanks for all your help and info.

im just checking if i got things right if you dont mind checking.

my handset is a vodaphone but sim free (im orange)

ive download HSPL3 which i run from pc desktop via usb to htc hd2.

but i have to check spl version by press volume down as well as reset button on back or is it via settings etc?

once hspl is on handset i choose which rom (unless stated otherwise) and run it like a normal rom upgrade .and voila alll done!?

radio is to do with wifi and calls and doesnt need changing unless have to?

many thanks for help again,and i will check out above threads as well.

i think i will get it in the end just a steep learning cure,do i once and know doubt i will be was that all it took.lol

Coming from an N1, anyone noticing decreased data speeds? They both support 7.2 and T-Mo isn't above that, so shouldn't you see roughly the same?

[Vibrant General] whodatfever:
Slightly faster data speeds and I run them all........the.............freaking.............time.

Not a world of difference from the N1 and it may only be a placebo effect but I'll put it this way: You certainly won't lose speed when you upgrade to this phone. First speed test went north of 3Mbps and that area consistently got me 2.4-2.6Mbps with the N1.
[Vibrant General] DaMaDo:
First time I ran speedtest app I got 565kbps down and 1258kbps up...looked reversed to me.

Ran it again just now and got 979 down 582 up.

It's seems to be pretty random on the test, but real-usage on the browser is fast enough to have me very satisfied.

I'm in Tampa, FL and it depends on the latency on my end. When it says I ping at around 150 ms, the speeds hit below 1 Mb/s. When it's below 120 ms, my speeds are always above 2 Mb/s. This is download of course, upload just sucks period.

Hi just wondering if anyone know what is the max size video file the SGS can play?

Tried playing a 1.6gb 1280x720 wmv but when i went to play it it said not supported.

Thx
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mstrandbo:
Probably the specific codec used in that file. 720p files aren't a problem for it to play.

(Supported: DivX, XviD, MPEG4, H.263, H.264, WMV, VC-1

format: 3gp(mp4), AVI(divx), MKV, FLV, H.263Sorenson)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dagrim1:
Not so much the size but the codec yeah... Even with wmv's of 150mb or so I often get messages that they aren't supported.

You might want to try RockPlayer, it has played everything I've thrown at it so far...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
Played 2.2GB 1280X720MKV.

The file size limit is FAT32 limit, 4GB. If android reads NTFS (didn't check yet), then there isn't any file size limit.

[Vibrant General] jhuynh92:
I just recently bought a Samsung vibrant from t-mobile and i want to set a background of a photo. At first it tells me to crop a certain part of the photo then expands it and looks all pixelated. I searched around and theres this app called "wallpaper set and save" which didnt set the whole image as the background. is there any way of setting a full image as a background and the phone auto adjusts?
[Vibrant General] raduque:
Android lets you crop the picture when it's too big. If you touch the edges of the crop square, and drag it out, you can change the size of the cropped area, you might be able to drag it out all the way to encompass the entire image. Also, it shouldn't be pixellating the image unless the resolution is way low, like 170x200 low.
[Vibrant General] Neffstarr:
if u want them to fit PERFECT the Image has too be 960x800 i will be makin wallpapers so stay tuned -----here are some of my other i tweaked for the MT3g & Nexus but i was making the nexus 50 pixels larger instead of 960x800 i was making them 960 x850

http://picasaweb.google.com/neffstarr
[Vibrant General] jhuynh92:
the image is bigger than the full crop window. so when i try to crop it it crops half the photo and expands it to fit the full screen therefore making it pixelated. its a photo that wasnt taken by the phone btw.
[Vibrant General] TeKiZeRo:
I'm having the same problem. I downloaded some 480x800 wallpapers and when I try to set the wallpaper, it asks me to crop part of the image and does not let you encompass the whole the thing. How are you supposed to set the wallpaper?

I still find the whole cropping thing a pain. I had images set at 960X800 but the cropping tool never lets me select it properly. I either end up with a small black band at the top and bottom or I have to under size it. I found this on the Market that lets you just set the image without cropping and it works on the Vibrant: "Application Utility".

I use randomaccess so that when I go to contacts (telephone>all people) the black bar on the right is displaying greek letters. In order for this to work manila language must be set to Greek.

As title says:

1. Is the software that comes with x10 considered SEUS or do you have to use the programa you download from Sony Ericsson website (the one you gotta use with the cell phone turned off)?

2. Updating using Seus wipes your data?
[XPERIA X10 General] Zenghelis:
1. SEUS is Sony Ericsson Update Service. You have to download it. Don't know if the one that comes with PC Companion is the same

2. Updating by SEUS have two options: 1. Update keeping your data or 2. Install new firmware and wipe it all

[Galaxy S I9000 General] cemartins:
Hi

I installed it on my work computer which is behind a proxy.

1 - Disable current network connection (control panel / network)

2 - Plug your phone to the computer using the USB cable

3 - Activate USB Tethering on the phone (Preferences / Wireless and networks / Tethering and portable...). Let the computer detect the new network device and configure itself

4 - Install Samsung Kies

Hope it works for you as well

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] sovius:
Hi,

This is my problem, I have a X7501 running Windows Mobile 6.5 Cooked by MichyPrima. The current Rom I have is this; "Athena_SPL1.2_R1_CE_B21500_MiChY"

The problem with this version is that every time I do a soft reset, all or more of the programs that I installed get deleted and I have to reinstalled them again.

So, I decided to upgrade my pda to this version

"Athena_SPL3.5_R1_CE_B21500_MiChY"

In order to this I just simple need to flash the above file in my x7501 and here is when the problem starts,

I run the "RaphaelCustomRUU" that comes with the rom, I follow all the prompts and when the instalation start (0%) the pda auto-restart, the connection get lost and the installer simple stops.

I tried to install another version "28205_1_04RVGA" but happens exactly the same, I tried to update my Radio, and the same.

It looks like something is making my Pda to restart and doesn't allow the installation to continue. I also follow the steps from 1 to 10 of this file "AP4_How_To_1.8" to try to fix any problems with my device and nothing.

Battery is 100%

antivirus is off

PDA Sync perfectly

PDA works properly except when soft reset

Does any one has any idea why the auto restart is happening???

Thanks in advance

Hi I also have a similar problem:

I was running SPL3.5 & AP4 on an Athena X7500 previously but making a hash of the new/old roms to install, i flashed AP Touch by PK.

I am now unable to get into windows mobile's Today screen as the customisation process which runs config & AP Touch.tsk keeps resetting the device. Each attempt i flash (i tried multiple ROMs, ranging from AP Touch again, AP3newSPL, and AP4.0 again) results in an error asking me to check my USB connection to the device. I suspect its because i do not have enablerapi anymore inside the device. I am unable to install enablerapi into the device since it keeps resetting! deleting files from the startup folder to try stopping the customisation / reset process also didn't quite work, neither does it allow me to delete the AP Touch.tsk file inside the device.

Can anyone help??
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] sovius:
Well, after a lot of research and luck I have finally resolved my problem.

and here is how I did it.

As you know my device every time I try to flash it from the computer, didn't response and simple cut the connection. I tried to flash it from the SD card and nothing, so.

1) look for the rom you want to flash, in my case was "Athena_SPL3.5_R1_CE_B21500_MiChY". Note; you can go from SPL 1.2 to 3.5 but for some reason I couldn't go from 3.5 to 1.2 or earliest.

2) I put my Athena in bootloader mode, by pressing camera + Comm Manager + reset

3) the colored screen appears saying on the white area (serial). why, I'm assuming my device was waiting for a serial connection or something

4) and here is the luck, I connect my USB cable to my device and the word serial changed to USB.

5) I activated the RaphaelCustomRUU.exe with the "Athena_SPL3.5_R1_CE_B21500_MiChY" rom inside and follow the prompts

6) the installation for the first time in more than 6 months finally start and satisfactorily was completed as well.

done

I'm checking if everything is okay, but so far, everything cool,

Hope this is helpful to those who face the same problem.

cheers

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] lakeman:
Hi ,sorry noone saw your post but it would have been obvious what your problem was.

There is a way to downgrade to SPL 1.2 and it is in the stickies.

Just for reference if anyone finds this thread, you should have gone into bootloader to check your SPL and then made sure your ROM matched this.

The mismatch was the problem that caused the endless reboot.

regards lakeman
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] sovius:
Thanks for your replay.

but I'd like to mention, that I was not trying to downgrade my SPL, in fact I was trying to Upgrade from 1.2 to 3.5. But that is not the issue.

My problem was that no matter what installer I used, after follow all prompts, the installation process freezed at 0%. Everytime I connected my PDA, everything looks alright until the installation process started and nothing always 0%.

So the solution was to put my PDA in bootload mode and only when the coloured screen appears, only at this point I connect my USB and double click the RaphaelCustomRUU.exe with the desired OS. My PDA instantly recognized the connection and did the installation.

Cheers
